i made the small, yes that is the small version of this pattern.

I've been working on this during breaks and lunches at work for a month, so i would say that it would take about two weeks or less if you work on this as your only project. but that's not how i roll.

I had to tink a lot with this and redo the lace part a lot. i was working in a poorly lit area to my defence

OK so to get the curls i used an eHow tute . you make a slip knot then wrap it like a curler. then take a sewing needle and go under two wraps. i did this around knitting needles and got about six curls per needle. you spray with water. i preheat the over to 350, then turned it off once i put the tray in. left it in for about five minutes. I had to make about 50-60 curls for this dolls head to not look thin.

 

then i sewed the dress. but i couldn't think of an easy way to get it on and off. so i sewed straps. but they are to big so i had to make i knot, then tie that with a little bow. i hope the child can figure it out.

I'm working on another Ripley hat. one of my sisters asked me to make her a hat and scarf set. I'm not making the mittens. i don't have enough yarn for that.

 

I'm making the hat using magic loop I'm trying to get good at it so that i can get to a level that i can make two at a time socks. then my socks will be that same size. both to big or to small.

 

this i the last night that i have to work overnights. then if it doesn't snow Toby might take me to Toledo. since none of my family volunteered to pick me up :{

ok so a guy from work asked me to make him a hat . i said 10$ please. i was not given the 10$ but still made the hat. when i gave it to him , he didnt like it. he said that he wanted camo print. well i thought that the hat looked plenty camo. i guess not. and i didnt get my money. and he wants me to make another hat so if i do choose to make this hat i have to go out and buy the multi colored yarn to get this effect. and i will have to wait until i get paid on the 10th. then i would only be making 5$ off the sale.

pattern: be easy

yarn: caron simply soft

hook: I

I made the top two with cardstock paper and the bottom with some kinda posterboard.

Ok so this is how its made

how to

I got my crayons for two dollars in a jumbo sized ziploc and the board for .10 cents pretty cheap right

i plan on making more of these with posterboard or stronger.

some of the crayons slipped out of the paper. and i also made some with out papter at all. and they came off before melting the yellow picture you can see it.

now how would one display this art. I dont have the money to buy frames. so i will just give them to people and say figure it out.

OK this is going to be a big post since i guess i forgot to post here for two months.

I made Toby Rainbow cupcakes for his birthday. Making these is really messy and there is alot of stirring to get the color right. but they turn out great. i added about 6-8 drops of color to each of the six bowls. just so you know gummy bears do not like frosting they all slid off .

we also got new piercings for his birthday, after this picture was taken

these were made for a local attraction swap. Michigan doll jacket, apple blossom hair clip and a toy robin

thees pillow cases were a gift to Toby for our anniversary 9-11-04. he saw them online and no one was paying 35$ for pillowcases

the sweater turned out majorly big. but it might fit my mom so its not a lost cause. i made sleeve and they were like past my fingertips so i just went with short sleeves instead

ok this blanket is made up of tons of those granny's daughter squares and then crocheted into a nine block square and that's crocheted into bigger block. i gave this to a old R.A.Y friend for he baby. its machine wash and dry so its easy care

this hat was made for a friend for he birthday. i kinda ran out of yarn near the end but the other yarn was kinda close in size and color

hat made as a going away gift for my brother. he is going into training for the navy.

i wanted to try out a new crochet stitch its called brick stitch

I'm starting to make more items to sell. Once we work out the details I'm going to try to sale my items in a friends resale shop. since i sale my items at retail prices anyways. I mean  people have told me that i don't sell anything because people think that a cheap price means a cheap product. well all i know is i wouldn't pay 30$ for one darn hat or 20$ for a pair of crocheted earrings. i make things for real people.
